HUDSON
“IT’S OVER.”
Hudson sank into his desk chair, holding his cell phone to his ear.
“What? What do you mean? What’s over? Kage? What’s going on?”
“Nox is dead.” Kage sighed heavily. “And he left a mess for me to
clean up. Fucker attacked my mate and exposed us to a human before he
drew his last breath.”
Hudson blinked several times in shock. “Are you okay? Is Austin?
Do you need me? That bastard.” Hudson’s quiet workday had suddenly
been turned on its ear.
“Yes, well, funny you should use that particular word. Nox really
was a bastard, meaning that he was born outside of wedlock. Want to guess
who his father was? I’ll give you a hint—it was mine.”
“Holy fuck, Kage.” Stunned didn’t even start to describe what
Hudson was. “Are you telling me that Nox is—shit, I mean was—your halfbrother? What the hell? And how the hell do you know this? Are you sure
you can trust your source?”
Kage’s laugh bordered on bitterness. “Oh yes, I’m absolutely sure.
Do you have time to talk? I kind of need to unload. Be warned, it’s a long
story.”
“I have all the time in the world.” Even if he didn’t, he’d make the
time. “Tell me.”
“I guess the best starting point would be to update you on what’s
going on with Axel, because that indirectly plays into what happened. Have
you ever heard of the Council of Wolves?”
“I have, yes. They’re a bunch of puffed-up assholes who think their
shit doesn’t stink.”
“By the dead gods, you got that right.” Kage took a deep breath,
then began.
The more Kage talked, the more Hudson’s mouth dropped open. He
didn’t interrupt because he could hear how hard this was for Kage—his
voice shook. That bothered Hudson tremendously. Kage wasn’t one to show
his emotions freely.
The sheer audacity of Nox was breathtaking in its arrogance. And as
much as Hudson hated to admit it, pretty smart too. Involving the human,
Kit, that Austin was friendly with, was brilliant. Horrifyingly so. He felt
sorry for Kit. What a way to get introduced to their world.
Nox was Kage’s half-brother. Hudson couldn’t wrap his mind
around it. No wonder Kage’s emotions were all over the place. He’d gone
his entire life without knowing this, and then to find out in such a way?
Yeah. Hudson could hear the anger, but also the sadness, in Kage’s voice.
“I’m so sorry,” Hudson finally said when Kage wound down.
“Austin really is okay?”
“Yes. He’s being observed for forty-eight hours. Terry is looking
after him.”
For several minutes, neither Kage nor Hudson said anything.
Finally, Hudson broke the silence, “I hate to say it, but at least it wasn’t you
who ended Nox’s life.”
“I know.”
“How is Axel handling that?”
“Honestly? I think he’s having a lot of the same emotions I’m
having—just minus the sadness, of course. Lots of anger, for sure. Austin
and I are keeping an eye on him.”
“That’s good. I’m not going to lie, that situation is a little weird, but
